Hi There,

This is goldmaker time.. Ready for this one?  I’ve just spent the last couple of hours outlining all of the methods I could think of to drive traffic to your website, and increase it exponentially! (and mine)

Here goes,

1. Comments on blogs, remembering to leave the url of your website.
2. Posting your link on social bookmarking websites (use bookmarking demon)
3. Using mailing lists with autoresponders.
4. Writing articles and submitting them around the web with your link at the bottom.
5. Using software to submit your website to all of the search engines.

Funny how Underworld come up with some great lyrics like that, it makes you wonder, doesn’t it?

Goes to show how something so simple can just stick in your head, now THAT is the real key to marketing, something not quite 100% clear yet makes sense.

I’m interested in hearing your opinions about myspace and what you think could be better with it as i am working towards a new website that has similar features for musicians / listeners as well as many other features, which are silently growing on the site.

There’s been a few sites over the years that i’ve put my music on including mp3.com, amp3.com, vitiminic and many others but i’ll agree that the instant gratification of what you need is there with myspace, the music plays as you go to the page - no dodgy setup of m3u files or whatnot with your media player.

SMS Stands for Short Messaging Service, or Texting as its known to the mobile fraternity.  Lately there has been a lot of talk and do about SMSing and how great it is, i’m here to tell you that if you’re doing something like phoning a customer up to tell them you’ve fixed there widget-x or whatever, then its about time you sent them a text instead! 

SMSing is really easy to get going programatically on the net now, there are various api’s provided by some providers and even desktop applications.
